The Ruling on the Hadith: (Whoever kills is killed, even after a long time)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Tell me about this phrase, is it a hadith: "Whoever kills is killed, even after a long time"?
Answer:
It appears in a hadith whose state of authenticity I do not know at the moment; it requires consideration: "Good news to the killer of his being killed, even after a long time." But I do not know its state now; it requires consideration and seeking it out in books of takhrij (tracing a hadith to its sources) and books of hadith. This is the meaning of what you asked about: "Good news to the killer of his being killed, even after a long time" is well-known, and it is my strong opinion that it was reported in a hadith, but I do not know its state now, and that requires searching for it and reviewing it. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes.
